Dullness of southern Landscapes.

One never hears of a tourist going second
time to bask in the splendors of tropical seem
cry The reason for this is because, not to put
too fine point upon it, there is no tropical
scenery The south has its magnificent mag
nolias, with their dark green, glossy leaves
and dazzling white flowers, its pines and its
palmettos, its fragrant orange trees, its never
fading flood of moonlight, turning night into
day, and the phosphorescent sea into blaz-
ing mirror; but it has no scenery. The gen.
eral aspect of every southern landscape upon
which my eyes have rested, from Charleston,
S. c., to Pernambuco, in Brazil, is that Of a
gray, colorless, dead and dying waste Of veg
citation, in which there is nothing attractive
or even tolerable.
The magnolia, separated from its natural
associates of gray moss and dead creepers,
and transplanted to the lawn, becomes
splendid tree with the landscape gardeners
care: but a single tree is not scenery. Con-
sidered singly, there are many beautiful flow
eTs, shrubs and trees in the hot latitudes; but
collectively, in its natural state, the southern
forest is dreary, sunburned jungle. 1t can
not for a moment be compared to the bright
ness and freshness of our northern deciduous
trees, or even our perennial pines.

find another girl" the mistress persisted,
although she perceived plainly enough the
uselessness of remonstrance. $50 told Pat,

long the strike would last, and that il l had

Five Cents Duty on Wool.

In an article on this subject published
some weeks ago. to which cur attention
has been especially called. the Philadel,
phia Textile Bulletin assumes that the
duty on yarns and worsteds Is relatively
less than that on wvol, and that because
of this the wool growers gets the benefit
OF only about one half the ten cent duty
on wool, in consequence of the opportu>
nifty afforded for bringing in these for
eign products to so great advantage. 1t
argues that worsted cloths are much
more poorly protected than woolens, and
that wool growers are as much inter-
ested as any others in having the duties
on yarns and worsteds readjusted. The
Bulletin ends BY saying: The mani
fest duty of every mau, wool-erower
and manufacturer. is TO see that the
latter is placed In proper position 90 the
protected list. Worsted gods should
be under the wnoleu classification and
the rates of duty 10 that paragraph
should be raised. Yarns and kUir goods
should be taken out Of the pr.seul class
ification and given rate by themselves
proportionate 10 the durY on wools.
Garnetted and other .ni OXEN aastes, in-
cluding ring wastes ard n,HIs. SHOULD be
classed as secured wnOls. Then. and
only then, can the wooi-grnxer hope to
realize the protection sfflrded by the
present duty on woOls.' In view of
this claim. and that wool-aIowers and
manufacturers may come to proper
understanding of their relation TO each
other. we incline TO favor the suggestion
of correspondent iB latter number of
the same journal. that ''the various as
sociations connected With wool growing
and manufac uring throughout the
country make arrangements for a gen.
eral convention, to consider the entire
tariff business. and endeavor to estsb>
llsh policy that can meet the approval
of all concerned" Each is claiming to
have in some particular less protection
than the other. If these differences can
be adjusted, and the two industries so
harmonized as to secure the best inter-
ests Of both. it must be by conference.

FASHIONS FOR The DEAD.

How the Customs of Dressing for the
Grave Have Been Changed.
There have been within the last few years
many marked changes in the conduct and in
the accessories Of funerals. The changes have
been brought by influences not clearly de-
Unable One old lady who died not long ago
lay In her narrow casket robed in pilgrim
suit of brown broadcloth, the cape covering
her shoulders and shrunken form, and 6
girdle holding the gathers about the waist
A small, close, little felt bonnet was wor,,
and the infusion Of some chemical gave tie
face a most hfelike appearance. A favorite
funeral gown is the modified Greek dress,
such as Mary Anderson, Miss Eastlake and
Ellen Terry have been seen in These outfits
are made without trimming, possibly girdle
or braided cape being used as a finish. The
fabric used is some fine flannel or worsted
cloth Of a yellowish white color.
Not two years ago the wife of a rich young
west slider was dressed in a facsimile cos,
tune OF that worn by Viola Allen in "Vir-
Rinius." Her sickness had been very brief
and when ''the final summons" came the
body retained its lovely round contour. In
the coffin the arms and neck were bare, the
yellow hair was arranged in loose ringlets
about the face, and necklace Of pearl beads
encircled the throat.
The winding sheet has been revived, and If
the rumor one gives ear to can be credited
some very prominent people will "wrap the
drt1pery of their couch about them" when
they go hence. The quotation is hardly
pertinent, for in place of the cold, white
winding sheet Of the "sailor boy" plaid of
white billiard cloth, made after the style of
Sir John Moores sable robe, is considered the
thing. So far the winding sheet has been
used in Chicago at the bier Of young men,
and then the funeral services have been con-
Quoted with great privacy.
Another innovation at funerals is the
evening or vesper burial. Services are held
at the residence late in the afternoon, the
friends retire Immediately afterward and at
nightfall the coffin is placed in the under
takers carriage and driven to the vault, fol.
lowed by a single coupe. This programme is
becoming very general in west side circles
and is preferred to any other arrangement
when the remains are taken out of the city
for burial.-Inter Ocean.

When Gen. Wilder in 1862, from the north
bank of the river, shelled Chattanooga, his
principal target was the Baptist church,
which stood in the same spot now occupied
by the sanctuary Of the First Baptist society.
Services were being held in it at the time, and
thecongregation dispersed without waiting for
the benediction. The house was directly in
range and the first shell struck it, making
hole in the clapboards In all the years since
the aperture has not been filled or covered.
Lately repairs were made on the residence,
and the little hole was given to W. A Wool.
son, according to an old promise. The re-
ceiver cut out three pieces of the siding and
put them in their respective places in a frame.

He Sued for His Salary.

l never knew of more than one preacher
who sued for his salary, and he got it. It
was in Franklin county The leading men
wrote him letter guaranteeing that the
church could and would pay him good
salary-one of these offhand letters which
churches noted for not paying will write.
He went and served them a whole year ac-
ceptably, meelIly and patiently In fact,
they were astonished at his patience. Then
he demanded all of his salary that was due.
Again they were astonished to meet man
who was not willing to take Just what the
church had seen fit to give him voluntarily.
But he told them. they had caused him to
contract debts ON the strength of the prom
ises made by their official members, and
those debts had to be paid. He went into
court, produced the letters written by the
official members, obtained Judgment and col
lected it. And he did right.-Rev. j. L.
Godbey in Globe-Democrat.
